About Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP

Lavi & Ebrahimian, LLP is a Beverly Hills employment law firm led by founding partners Joseph Lavi and Nick Ebrahimian. According to the firm, it represents workers only, not employers, in California labor and employment cases, and Ebrahimian's firm biography says he co-founded the practice in 2003. State Bar records show Lavi was admitted to the California bar in December 2000 and Nassir Nick Ebrahimian in May 2002; both list Loyola Law School in Los Angeles as their law school. The firm's biographies add that both earned undergraduate degrees at UCLA and that Lavi holds an LL.M. from Pepperdine University School of Law.

The firm lists a broad set of employee-side matters: unpaid overtime, meal and rest break violations, employee misclassification and other wage and hour claims, which it pursues both individually and as class actions; discrimination based on disability, pregnancy, age, race and other protected traits; sexual harassment; retaliation and whistleblower claims; lactation accommodation; and wrongful termination. Lavi's biography also mentions consumer class actions.

Part of the firm's work is appellate. It lists matters it litigated before the California Supreme Court, including Pearson Dental Supplies, Inc. v. Superior Court (2010) and Alvarado v. Dart Container Corp. of California (2018), as well as cases in the California Courts of Appeal and the Ninth Circuit.

According to the firm, all clients are represented on a contingency basis, meaning no attorney fee is charged unless there is a recovery, and initial case evaluations are free and confidential. Its office is at 8889 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 200, in Beverly Hills. The team page lists several dozen attorneys, including a head of litigation, senior attorneys, associates and of counsel. The firm links to a separate Spanish-language website, and State Bar records list Farsi as a language spoken by both founding partners.
